The 28-year-old center said he was looking to join a team
focused on winning in 2018-19.

"I wanted to play for something more than next year's draft,"
O'Quinn said to reporters Monday (via WISH-TV).

O'Quinn averaged 7.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per
game for the Knicks last season.

O'Quinn was selected by the Magic in the second round of the
2012 draft. He spent three seasons in Orlando before he signed with
New York in July 2015.

The Knicks registered a 92-154 and failed to make a playoff
appearance during O'Quinn’s three seasons with the team.

New York could struggle once again next season. Star forward
Kristaps Porzingis tore his ACL in early February and he may miss a
significant portion of 2018-19.

The Pacers finished last season with a 48-34 record and earned
the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They pushed the
Cavaliers to a Game 7 but were ultimately eliminated in the first
round after a 105-101 loss in Cleveland.
